Dogs cannot get most viruses carried by humans as these viruses cannot cross the species barrier. Deadly viruses like rabies can cross the barrier between species, but are more often transmitted from the dog to the human. A common misconception is that dogs can catch a cold or flu from their owners but this is untrue

The short answer is "Yes". Dogs do not get strep throat, but they may harbor Streptococcus pyogenes (also called Group A strep, what causes strep throat) from being around humans.

Can dogs transmit a virus to humans?
Yes, there have been a scattered few circumstances where that did happen. They were living closely with people with the flu, in the bed with them, etc. and caught the flu from them. A few cats and ferrets also have caught it from owners living very closely with them. The symptoms in dogs are similar to those in humans or in dogs with Bordetella (Kennel Cough) or canine flu (also going around). Veterinarians suggest staying away from pets, just like from people, while you are in the contagious stages of the flu.
